Where to build a base for your shed. when deciding where to place your garden building, you need to take a few things into consideration. firstly, remember not to place the base too close to any walls or fences, as there may be a slight overhang on the roof of the garden building.. Example: shed base 8' long x 6' wide x 3" deep the volume = 8' x 6' x 0.25' = 12 cu ft 2 bags per cubic ft = 24 bags add 10%, 3 bags for compacting total 27 bags of ballast cement 1 bag (25kg) of cement mixed with the ballast in the ratio of 1:5, 1 bag of cement to 5 bags of ballast 27 bags of ballast divide by 5 and round up would = 6 bags of. This should be hard to do beyond 150mm deep. point up the brickwork (see our pointing and repointing brick and blockwork project for help) and you should have a good looking base for your shed � good work!! positioning your shed on the base..
My footings for a brick built garage, same dimensions are 750mm deep with 500mm of concrete with one row of blocks bringing them back up to ground level.. A shed base is an essential part of building a shed (whether they may be wooden or metal garden sheds), the base has to be properly made to give your shed a solid foundation.. A dry, solid shed base is important to the foundational structure of any well-built shed. while these outdoor spaces provide a fantastic place to store tools, garden products, children�s bicycles, and more, sheds can let moisture in and ruin your things if you don�t install the correct type of base..
